First pass at this kind of deck just to see how it works. Performs okay in gauntlet, still very far from optimal.
Basic plan: Use
Memory Dredger to make a huge
Copper Conduit, use
Fearbinder to make a huge
Fear's Sum.
Discoveries: Fear's Sum is a
1-cost token, interacts well with
Memory Dredger and presumably other cost-dependent interactions.
Kerendon Merchant itself impressed me. I was initially hesitant, but using
Xenan Initiation to get the ol' Deadly/Killer combo turned me around.
Some things I'm thinking about playing with:
Going lower with a
Wandering Wisp +
Shadowlands Guide approach. Maybe
Xenan Obelisk, since I'm confident
Fearbinder would count that.
A source of Unblockable to get
Memory Dredger or a huge
Fear's Sum through. Using
Ghostform to gain some life sounds surprisingly good. I didn't realize
Thief's Pick existed, but permanent unblockable does sound tempting for the 'dredgers.
I haven't gotten much out of
Whispers in the Void yet, and basically added it as filler in the first place. Still, it the games I've drawn it, having a perpetual source of Sum-fodder has its benefits. Something like
Ephemeral Wisp might do the same job better.
Would love to hear any refinements anybody comes up with.
